"Snooker loopy nuts are weMe and him and them and meWe'll show you what we can doWith a load of balls and aSnooker cue..."​Cabin fever presents to you 5 minutes 20 seconds. Five slates, six pockets, eight legs, twenty-two balls... two people with one hundred and forty seven points up for grabs! One issue, they're shit! They will never be as good as their idols - two professionals, two World Champions and both Triple Crown winners. This is a piece about success, failure, idols, hometowns, family, relationships, music... and... SNOOKER!

"A performance that takes a love of snooker to its limits, where 2 performers begin to explore their history, their relationship, and their music tastes against the backdrop of a 1.3 tonne full-size snooker table. They can’t play snooker that well, but it is what brings them together. And the whole task of moving and building the monolith we see in front of us, is at the heart of all their problems…" - Kevin Egan (Reckless Sleepers)

"A piece with a brilliant sense of play! Whether that be the sport itself or the record collection. A warm performance that explores modern day masculinity, from being a young boy and wanting to copy your heroes to becoming a "man" and finding your own sense of identity" - Jane Turner (Academic and Dramaturg, MMU)
